This is a photo from the Yokohama Shashin series, which were commercial photographs produced especially for foreign travelers as souvenirs, taken during the Meiji period (1868-1912). A Jinrikisha (two-wheeled passenger cart) is depicted at Totsuka on the Toukaidou Highway.

During the Edo period (1603-1868), travelers and pilgrims visiting Enoshima Island often used a route that went to Kamakura first, and then along the beach to Enoshima Island. After the Toukaidou railway line opened, people visited Enoshima Island, travelling from Fujisawa station by Jinrikisha (two-wheeled passenger carts).
